The Return of Weekend Family Drama
Lee Taeran dazzled at the press conference for KBS2’s upcoming weekend drama Glorious Days, held at The Saint Grand Ballroom in Sindorim, Seoul, on June 6. Clad in elegance, the veteran actress made a graceful appearance as she joined the cast and crew to unveil the 50-episode generational melodrama.
What Is ‘Glorious Days’ All About?
Glorious Days (‘Hwaryeohan Naldeul’ in Korean) is the kind of show that makes you call your mom halfway through the episode. The drama dives into the idea that everyone has their own “glorious days,” whether they happened in the past, are unfolding right now, or are still to come. It’s a nostalgic, heartfelt blend of family, love, and life’s bittersweet twists—classic weekend K-drama territory.
The story aims to connect viewers across generations, delivering resonant themes with a strong emotional core. The show premieres on Saturday, June 9 at 8 p.m. KST, giving viewers a new reason to stay in on weekends.
Star-Studded Cast on Deck
Joining Lee Taeran on stage were director Kim Hyung-seok and a solid lineup of familiar K-drama faces: Jung Ilwoo, Jung In-sun, Yoon Hyunmin, Chun Ho-jin, Shin Soohyun, Son Sangyeon, and Park Jungyeon.
During the event, the cast shared behind-the-scenes anecdotes, character teasers, and heartfelt hopes for the series. Considering the mix of veterans and rising stars, expectations are high for some powerful onscreen chemistry.
A Familiar Comfort for K-Drama Fans
For international viewers, think of Glorious Days as Korea’s answer to family sagas like This Is Us—but with more kimchi, multigenerational misunderstandings, and a weekend spot that guarantees tears and healing vibes in equal measure.
Kicking Off the Season
In a landscape dominated by high-stakes thrillers and manhwa-based fantasy romances, Glorious Days hopes to stand out by appealing to the heart. The drama offers what K-viewers love most on weekends: relatable characters, emotional rollercoasters, and those deliciously slow-burning storylines.
So whether you’re in it for the family drama feels or just want to see Lee Taeran back in action—grab your tissues and mark your calendars. The weekend just got a whole lot brighter.
